Description Koen Kooi 2012-05-03 12:16:09 UTC 
Build fails when mesa and libsdl are missing on the buildhost
Comment 1 Saul Wold 2012-05-03 23:19:43 UTC 
This is related to qemu's requirements on hosts tools.
Comment 2 Edwin Zhai 2012-05-04 01:38:43 UTC 
This is requirement for yocto build, which is doced in yocto wiki, I think.

libsdl is used for guest window paiting, unless you prefer text mode via serial console, or use something like libvnc.

Host mesa is used for GL acceleration on qemux86/x86_64.

I'd like to treat it as won't fix, unless we have strong requirement for this(install libsdl and mesa is not hard)
Comment 3 Richard Purdie 2012-05-04 09:31:59 UTC 
I think we need some flexibility here (see discussion on the mailing list). I think it makes sense to add a configuration option in this particular case using PACKAGECONFIG even though the defaults will remain unchanged. Users not wanting to install mesa/sdl can then set PACKAGECONFIG to match their configuration. Presuambly they've already bypassed the sanity tests.

The issue is still reproduced in revision fb53d69d9c726e6a663ea276cc440676e20f8326

Comment 6 Saul Wold 2012-08-28 00:02:40 UTC 
More details are needed here, the commit you mentioned could not possibly have generated that failure(In reply to comment #5)

Did you setup your PACKAGECONFIG correctly to exclude the gl acceleration?

Setting PACKAGECONFIG_pn-qemu-native = "" in your local.conf should do the trick.

Please verify this.

See previous comment, forgot to set NEEDINFO
Comment 8 Saul Wold 2012-10-04 16:55:46 UTC 
The GL patch for qemu has been removed, so along with that removal qemu no longer needs mesa and SDL in 1.3 and beyond.
